I can feel your presence on the Sutherland Train
Change at Sydenham, crossing the bridge on a summery day
On a dime it don't matter if the wind is coming in
With the pouring rain
You're saying "are you ok darling, I'm on my way"
"Don't pick me up I can easily get onto a 418
And I'll be fine and I'll let you know if the bus is late"
And all the commuters pass by as you wait
With a bag on your back yeh you carry that weight
I'll be as light as a cinder
Drifting in the breeze
Gather around me
All of these unfinished glimpses
Of my memories
Gather around me
After all the talking, and all the lengths we've walked
Just to get where I am
I know the hope you cradle in your hands
And I feel that I hurt you when I strayed
I cannot say if I'll regain that faith
You told me that you felt that it was you to blame
But you forget the credits to your name
We did a lot of growing up at 148
I remember tears streaming down your face
Even at its darkest you never let it get you bitter
That's the motto, that's the kicker
Bright tomorrow, lights will flicker
My streets quiet and the skyline dimmers
That's the Bombay Sapphire Tonic
There's the grandkids come to frolic
Did it work out like you wanted?
Like you wanted
I'll be as light as a cinder
Drifting in the breeze
Gather around me
All of these unfinished glimpses
Of my memories
Gather around me
You're on the train
That carries you home
Carries you home
From here to the edge
Of the horizon
Savour it all
Savour it all
Savour it all
Savour it all
I'll be as light as a cinder
Drifting in the breeze
Gather around me
All of these unfinished glimpses
Of my memories
Gather around me
I'll be as light as a cinder
Drifting in the breeze
Gather around me
All of these unfinished glimpses
Of my memories
Gather around me
